The Warner Sallman Collection

A Symbol of Blessing and Protection

by Peggy Bearce, March 22, 2010

My first husband purchased my Warner Sallman picture of Christ for me when I was 15 years old in 1972 at a flea market. I have had it displayed at the focal point of every residence I have lived since that time. It now hangs above my fireplace and is one of the first things people notice when they enter my home. To me the portrait symbolizes all the great blessings God has bestoyed upon me in life, continual protection, and a constant reminder that Jesus is the head of my surroundings and life.
